Irish Alphabet employees among those to petition Pichai over handling of job cuts via IrishTimesBiz
The Financial Services Union says a significant number of the almost 1,400 employees at Google parent Alphabet who signed a petition calling for better treatment of staff during the lay-off process, were based at the company’s Irish offices.
The workers also called on Alphabet to avoid cutting the jobs of employees from countries with active conflicts or humanitarian crises, such as Ukraine, and to provide extra support to those at risk of losing their visa-linked residency along with their jobs.“The impacts of Alphabet’s decision to reduce its workforce are global,” the letter said. “Nowhere have workers’ voices adequately been considered, and we know that as workers we are stronger together than alone.
Although some Google workers, particularly in the US, lost their jobs immediately, the process has been much slower for those in countries with the stronger labour protections that are common in Europe.
